Abstract
A vehicle speed control system having speed altering modes such as acceleration and resume modes. When resuming speed control operation to attain a previously set desired speed, a lower reference ramp and upper reference ramp are generated in a preprogrammed manner. The lower reference ramp is selected as the reference speed when vehicle speed is below such ramp, and the upper reference ramp is selected as the reference speed when the vehicle speed is greater than such ramp. The vehicle speed is selected as the reference speed when it is within both reference ramps.
